How reps on the coast use FMCG Field Sales Automation in Jeddah

Jeddah is the commercial gateway of the Red Sea coast, and many distributors here also serve Makkah, Madinah and Taif. One rep can spend the morning among old-town bakalas in Al Balad and the afternoon with supermarkets along Tahlia Street. Imported stock arrives through Jeddah Islamic Port, so reps often need to know which lines are available before they promise them. SalesMake shows distributor stock on the order screen, applies the right scheme as items are added and logs the call with a GPS check-in. Family-run distributors get a clear daily picture of who called on whom without chasing phone calls.

What the app does at each outlet call

From arrival to the next stop, nine things reps handle on the phone

Route for the day

Route for the day

The beat lists outlets in a sensible order, from Al Hamra to Al Rawdah, so the rep is not doubling back across the city.

Arrival by GPS

Arrival by GPS

Check-in captures where and when the rep reached the outlet, so missed calls stand out on the supervisor's screen.

Stock-aware ordering

Stock-aware ordering

Before confirming quantities, the rep can see what the distributor has on hand, avoiding promises that cannot be delivered.

Automatic trade schemes

Automatic trade schemes

Free goods and discounts are worked out by the system as the order is built, which removes arithmetic from the counter.

Shelf and display

Shelf and display

Reps tick through a merchandising list for the brand's lines, giving marketing a view of how products sit on shelves.

Quick surveys

Quick surveys

Short question sets capture things like competitor promotions or missing lines while the rep is still in the outlet.

Cash and card collections

Cash and card collections

Amounts collected are matched to the outlet's open invoices, and the credit balance updates for the accounts team.

Patchy coverage

Patchy coverage

If coverage drops on a coastal road, the app stores the call and sends it once the phone reconnects.

Target progress

Target progress

Each rep sees sales so far against the monthly target by product group, which helps focus the next few calls.

Orders that reach the distributor without retyping

A common Jeddah problem is the order written in a notebook, photographed, then keyed in again at the warehouse. Every hand-off adds delay and errors. With SalesMake, the order a rep books is the order the distributor sees, with schemes and prices already applied. The distributor confirms, dispatches and invoices from the same record, and the brand sees secondary sales by outlet without waiting for month-end files.

  • No paper order books or photo uploads
  • Prices and schemes fixed at the moment of booking
  • Distributor confirms from the same order record
  • Brand sees outlet-level secondary sales

Six steps to a working field team

A typical rollout for a Jeddah distributor and its reps

Discovery workshop

We meet sales, distribution and finance leads in Jeddah to map how orders and collections move today.

Outlet mapping

Outlets are listed with location, channel and credit terms, then grouped into beats by district.

Price and schemes

Current price lists and trade schemes are configured so the app applies them on every order line.

Phone setup

The app is installed on reps' phones, with logins tied to their own beats and targets.

Ride-along week

Consultants join reps on live calls to catch problems early and refine the order screens.

Go-live support

All beats switch on, and our Bengaluru team supports you remotely during overlapping working hours.

Field teams selling across Jeddah

Jeddah distributors work under the same ZATCA rules as the rest of the Kingdom. VAT is 15%, and tax invoices must show Arabic. Under FATOORA phase 2, invoices need a UBL XML file, a QR code and a cryptographic stamp; B2B invoices are cleared in real time and simplified invoices are reported shortly after. Businesses in wave 25, those with VAT-subject revenue above SAR 187,500 in any year between 2022 and 2025, must be integrated by 1 February 2027. SalesMake raises invoices from booked orders with these elements in place. Collections can be tagged by method, including mada card payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one Jeddah rep cover Makkah outlets too?

Yes. Beats can include outlets in any city, so a rep based in Jeddah can carry a Makkah or Taif route on set days. Check-ins and orders work the same way wherever the outlet is.

Is the training held in Jeddah?

Workshops and training can be held at your Jeddah office, with consultants flying in from Bengaluru. Sessions are in English, and remote support continues after go-live during overlapping hours.

How do invoices from the app handle Arabic and QR codes?

Tax invoices raised from booked orders include the Arabic fields ZATCA requires, along with the QR code and cryptographic stamp needed under FATOORA phase 2. B2B invoices go through real-time clearance.

Can reps check distributor stock before taking an order?

Yes. The order screen shows what the distributor holds, so a rep can offer an alternative line when an item is short, instead of booking something that will not arrive.

What can a Jeddah supervisor track while reps are out?

A live view of check-ins, orders and collections by rep and beat. Missed outlets are easy to spot, and the supervisor can follow up the same afternoon.

How are trade schemes kept correct on every order?

Schemes are defined once by the office, with their conditions and dates. When the rep adds items, the system checks the conditions and applies the discount or free goods automatically.

Can surveys be changed for a new campaign?

Yes. The office can add or change survey questions, and reps receive the new set on their next sync. Answers are linked to the outlet and to that call.

What if a rep loses signal near Obhur?

The call carries on. The app saves the check-in, order and survey on the phone and uploads them once coverage returns, so nothing has to be written down twice.
